Completely untrustful company
There were numerous problems yesterday when I tried to transfer money from my own bank account to PayPal. Paypal asked a dozen times for SMS, email and other verifications. I verified myself and transfers several times with bank IDs.
After making the SEPA transfer from the bank account to PayPal, the money left the account but did not appear in PayPal.
After several hours, I got in touch with a chat service where the issue didn’t work out. I was then called from PayPal (English only, no service available in my own language) and again asked for multiple verifications (account number, SMS verification and personal information), despite PayPal calling me.
Paypal said there is a security risk when a customer with their bank IDs transfers money from their own bank account to the PayPal service and they need to verify the correctness of the transfer (despite the bank identification).
PayPal claims the problem was with the Chrome browser I was using (?).
Finally, today the money appeared in my PayPal account. PayPal is displayed as the payer of the money, so PayPal has taken over the money for the duration of the check.
I do not understand the nature of the check because I paid the money with my bank ID from my bank account to my PayPal account.
Today I tried to pay for a purchase in an online store (Proshop.com). Payment for the purchase was suspended 21 times. I received an SMS verification request 11 times, 2 times I was asked to change my password and despite that the payment was not successful. Each time there was a message "We are unable to complete your purchase right now, return to the merchant page and try again"
After 48 minutes and more than 20 attempts, I tried to contact the chat service. The chat service did not work at all. I called PayPal. Again, service in English only. PayPal explained that again there is a security risk and payment cannot be made. Said I could try to pay again after 72 hours.
According to PayPal, they can’t say where the fault is, they just explained that it’s a security risk.
No need to explain that no transaction waits 72 hours for a pending payment transaction (ProShop waits 10 minutes)
The product was not purchased.
Now I tried to transfer money from PayPal back to my bank account without success. PayPal's statement: "There was a problem. We weren't able to transfer the money to the bank right now."
I am now unable to transfer my own money from my PayPal account to my own bank account. The account is the same from which I transferred the money to PayPal.
PayPal now has over € 1,000 of money stuck, and there is no information on when they can be transferred back to my own bank account.
PayPal is a completely invalid system. Transferring money from your own bank account with bank IDs is a "security risk", paying for purchases in a large online store is not possible because it is a security risk, and your own money cannot be transferred back to your own bank account.
As of this writing I am not yet back with my money and do not know when I will receive it
I strongly advise you to avoid using PayPal.
